About (request update)

I was born in Mobile Alabama, but grew up in a military family which ended up taking me all around the country and abroad. I lived in Alaska, California, Japan, South Korea, Virginia, and now Florida. My parents are both alums of Tuskegee University and so am I. After graduating from TU in 2014, I interned on Capitol Hill in the office of Congresswoman Terri Sewell (AL-07). After my experience in DC I entered graduate school to continue my studies of political, civil rights, and modern US history. I have just completed my Masters and am currently a staffer with the Democratic Party here in Florida.
